General play modes</h2>
<p>
Before launching tracks, you can set default Jajuk behavior in the command view:</p>
<table cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2">
<tr>
<td>
<a href="../images/b/ba/Pm01.jpg" title="Image:pm01.jpg" class="internal">
<img src='../images/b/ba/Pm01.jpg' alt="Image:pm01.jpg"/>
</a>
<i>
Fig. 01: Modes</i>
</td>
<td>
<ul>
<li>
1- Repeat mode: if set, selection will be played in a loop</li>
<li>
2- Shuffle mode: if set, selection will be played randomly</li>
<li>
3- Continue mode: if set, tracks after selection will be played when selection is done</li>
<li>
4- Introduction mode: if set, only a part of each track will be played (begin position and play time can bet set in the parameter view)</li>
</ul>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>
Note: these modes are taken into account only if you launch tracks with the "Play" command. You can always overwrite these modes launching tracks with "Play repeat" or "Play shuffle" option.</p>
<p>
The "<b>
Push</b>
" command you will find in most menus allows you to push the selection in the queue: it means the tracks you push will be played when previous selection is over. You can browse the queue using the smart playlist "Queue" (See fig. 02):</p>

<h2>
The Jajuk rating system</h2>
<p>
Jajuk comes with an automatic rating system that learns tracks your like the most based on the frequency you listen to them. Current system works this way: +1 if a track is listen more than 20 seconds, +1 if a track is listen to the end. Notes: </p>
<ul>
<li>
Tracks rating is usually displayed as a set of stars in tables (from one to 4 stars). You can access to exact rating value as a tooltip on the stars.</li>
<li>
You can reset all ratings in the <a href="view_preferences.html">
view preferences</a>
, History tab.</li>
</ul>
